London’s mayor is hoping to make England’s capital city a bicycle utopia. Along with the city’s much-publicized $50 daily “congestion charge” for motorists who drive the most polluting vehicles, Mayor Ken Livingstone has proposed building a dozen bicycle “superhighways” that would link the city suburbs with commercial areas.
It is expected to take a decade to build the routes, which would take cyclists off regular roads and out of dangerous and congested traffic.
In the meantime, Livingstone’s administration is also encouraging motorists to be more mindful of their two-wheeled brethren.

Livingstone is aiming for a 400 percent increase in the number of cyclists in the city by 2025, the Guardian newspaper reports.
